Backpacker Gear Guide, Mountainlight and Bloopers

Mountainsmith’s new Mountainlight Series has hit the shelves and Backpacker took notice! When the Backpacker Gear Guide hits the stands you will find the Mountaismith Ghost featured as the Hot Weather Warrior! Here is what they had to say…

“New for 2012! Resurrecting our award winning Mountainlight category, we’ve brought the Ghost 50L back to life! Sporting considerable updates over our previous classic, this multi-day 50L dual panel loader is built with durable, lightweight high tenacity nylon and loads of ergonomic features ensuring years of fast, light, and comfortable trail use. Our Breezeway trampoline suspension backpanel sports an adjustable 3 position yoke shoulder strap system, DWR coated airmesh foam for increased breathability, and innovative ICS Cup (Illiac Crest Shelf) hipbelt that transfers and locks the pack load onto the hips for increased stability. To round out the comfort and optimal load transfer, we’ve included a Lumbar Control Point pad on the lower backpanel to fully secure the pack load against the user’s major weight bearing point, the lumbar/sacrum region.”

Here is a short interview with our design rep talking about the Mountainlight Series and find out what pack our Sales and Marketing team like the best! Keep watching…there is a blooper reel at the end!
